In this report, Kent Hughes puts small business in the context of the American economy and the American innovation with a specific focus on federal initiatives, the sources of finance for small business, and the role of public-private partnerships in supporting small business.</p>

Using two examples of success in systems impacted by natural disasters: post-earthquake Chile and post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans; Paul Vallas and Tressa Pankovits explore how lessons learned could be adapted and emulated in a country like Haiti that is desperate for reform, with over 50 percent of its population under the age of 18.</p>

As the world entered the 2000s, more and more countries have focused on improving and building their own innovation systems. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, recognizing this trend, asked the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute to survey the innovation systems of Brazil, South Korea, and Russia and provide insights on current and future innovation trends.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-event-location field-type-link-field field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Directions:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="http://www.wilsoncenter.org/directions">Directions to the Wilson Center</a></div></div></div>Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:09:09 +0000ewhite29287 at http://wilsoncenter.orgPublic-Private Partnerships Powering Entrepreneurs and Innovatorshttp://wilsoncenter.org/event/public-private-partnerships-powering-entrepreneurs-and-innovators

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>With a still sluggish and struggling global economy, many economists believe that a successfully negotiated trade agreement between the U.S. and E.U. could provide the kind of jolt that many markets need. Based on the sizes of the economies involved, it’s easy to see why. With negotiations over the proposed Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership (TTIP) about to heat up, we asked Kent Hughes to provide context on what could be a game changing agreement.</p>
